Escape From Konoha

Facing the tearing storm that was coming towards them, Baishi and the other two people had no intention of dodging.

Ayane was the first to take action, and in a flash, she disappeared from the spot and jumped over the controlled Kumogakure ninja. She stretched out her palm and pushed down hard.

The chakra strike fired from the palm directly penetrated the obstruction of the air and landed on the back of the Kumogakure ninja.

boom!

The Kumogakure ninja received a fatal attack, the roar suddenly stopped, and the storm that blew against the rocks also stopped.

A huge pothole appeared on the ground, and Yunyin Ninja lay there motionless, the surrounding ground and walls were smeared with blood spattered from his body.

The power of that palm strike not only destroyed the appearance of Kumogakure ninja, but also destroyed the meridian system in his body.

Without the channel for transmitting chakra, the purple-black chakra with dark consciousness will naturally be unable to continue to control the body of the Kumogakure ninja and fight for it.

The ninjas around who were controlled by the power of sprites also took action one after another, uttering inhuman yells, and rushed towards Ayane.

Their bodies were enveloped by an extremely deep aura of darkness, their eyes were as red as blood, and they were in a state of bloodthirsty rage.

Like a wild beast, in the most primitive way, a hunter preys on prey.

"It's really troublesome."

As she said this, a smile appeared on her lips. Ayane concentrated chakra in her palms and spun her body violently.

"Back to the days!"

The huge chakra ball unfolded on the narrow cave road, and a terrible storm was rolled up, automatically sucking these controlled ninjas into the chakra ball.

Then there was the sound of the body tearing apart, and the blue chakra ball was stained with a layer of bright red at some point, making it look extremely strange.

The spinning body slowly stopped, and her clothes and hair calmed down. Ayane gently exhaled a breath from her mouth, and all the ninjas surrounding her fell to the ground.

The bodies of these ninjas are very miserable, none of them are intact, their expressions distorted in pain, and then become rigid in the distortion, as if they had experienced something very terrifying before dying, full of fear.

Seeing that Ayane had taken care of these ninjas, Shiraishi walked over casually, squatted down, and began to examine the bodies of these ninjas, thinking about it.

"Although the chakra has been enhanced, it seems to have lost its original fighting consciousness. As an experimental material, it should be pretty good."

The power of a ninja cannot be determined by the amount of chakra alone.

It is true that ninjas with huge amounts of chakra have certain advantages in many battles.

However, fighting is not so casual.

Combat consciousness and the type of spell can also determine the outcome of a battle.

The monsters... don't understand, or are not used to controlling humans to fight.

But for monsters, there are as many things as human beings, and they don't care about the difference in quality at all. They are just objects of control.

From this point of view, monsters really treat humans equally.

"Let's go to the sealed place of the ancestral hall."

After dealing with the ninja soldiers blocking the road, the three of Shiraishi continued to move inside.

The further we walked, the more clearly we could feel the dull and powerful heartbeat of a certain creature, echoing throughout the cave.

The power of darkness is also getting stronger and stronger. It is the energy of the Chakra system, which is different from ninjas. It can evoke the most primitive desires in people's hearts, so as to achieve the effect of controlling people's hearts.

If chakra is not strong enough and consciousness is not strong enough, human beings may become playthings in the hands of monsters the moment they come into contact with this dark power.

We should be fortunate that the current power of the sprite can only be used within a very small range.

If his power continues to expand until it reaches all parts of the ninja world, it will really be too late.

The ninja world will also become what the monsters call the kingdom of darkness, a hell on earth.

The violent and scorching breath continued to blow from the depths of the cave, and soon they reached the end of the road. What was displayed in front of the three of Baishi was an incomparably huge natural cave. He is also completely able to fight with his arms and legs free.

And at the bottom of the cave, there is fiery hot magma, swallowing bubbles, in the magma, you can faintly see a huge shadow hidden in it, sleeping peacefully in the magma.

And in the magma, there are roads paved with narrow rocks that are crisscrossed and crisscrossed, which can be walked on.

These rocky roads seem to have been worn for a long time, and they are already dilapidated. It is very doubtful whether walking on them will immediately collapse the roads and cause people to fall into the magma at the bottom.

Bai Shi glanced around and found a beautiful and holy figure standing on a rocky road not far away, looking straight at something.

The owner of this holy figure is none other than Maitreya, the witch from the Kingdom of Ghosts.

This is one of the few times Shiraishi has seen Miroku's true appearance.

Most of the time, he and Maitreya talked in the air through a gauze curtain.

The direction Maitreya was looking was about a hundred meters away from her.

There was an undamaged stone chair, and the person sitting on the stone chair was not so much a human being, but an evil monster that maintained a human form but did not know what it was.

His body remained human-like, but his appearance was wrapped in a layer of darkness.

It was a kind of boundless darkness, as dark as a bottomless abyss.

The only part of his body that wasn't black was his eyes, which were like the magma at the bottom of a cave, burning with a strange divine light.

Shiraishi and the three of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as if they suddenly felt relaxed. Their foreheads were covered with sweat at some point, and they stared cautiously at the dark figure sitting on the stone chair.

"It's amazing that you can look directly at the dark part of me without being deprived of consciousness. As a human being, you are indeed quite outstanding."

The pitch-black figure on the stone chair was so unsparing in his praise, admiring the Shiraishi trio.

Even though they were hundreds of meters apart, the sound could still clearly ring in the ears of Shiraishi and the others.

Then, the dark figure turned its eyes and glanced at Maitreya Witch, who was standing there motionless.

"You have found three very capable helpers, Maitreya."

Miroku Maitreya nodded calmly: "If this were not the case, I would not have let them come to such a dangerous place. The world has experienced several ninja wars, and the various darkness produced by it have already expanded to the point where it is difficult for me to control you. to the point.”

The dark figure sighed, as if he was remembering something.

"It's like this every time. Why do you treat humans so much? As a miko, you were forced to give up the happiness that humans should have because of the stupid ninja. You, who are so high above us, are actually just a little person who desires an ordinary human life. Just a girl. But when the Ninja Sect spread, this kind of life was deprived of the right to live a human life, and the seven emotions and six desires were abandoned. Why don't you resent these ninjas who were once Ninja Sect? Why don't you destroy it with me? Abandon this world that has long been in decay?”

Maitreya Miko's eyes were unmoved, which probably meant that people with different paths should not work together.

"I understand, no matter which generation of witches they are, they are all so innocent and stubborn, so lovable."

The monster sighed and slowly stood up from his seat, continuing to look at Maitreya with his flaming red eyes.

"However, this time I want to end your miserable fate. Just like your ancestors, become a part of my body. This is your ultimate destiny as a miko."

After saying that, in the cave where the magma illuminated the light, the darkness on the dark figure suddenly began to shake restlessly. To be more precise, it wanted to break free from some kind of restraint.

Maitreya did not stop at this time.

In fact, there was nothing she could do to stop the demon at this moment.

The ninja world has gone through several ninja wars. The large amount of negative energy fluctuations generated in the ninja world have been swallowed up by the monster, and its power is greater than before.

On the contrary, since my strength has been greatly reduced due to childbirth, the situation is extremely unfavorable.

"Aren't you going to stop me? That's fine. Since I'm so resigned to fate, I only need to kill a few small human bugs to fulfill my long-cherished wish for thousands of years. Witness the power of darkness!"

As if chanting, a white circular barrier spell suddenly lit up on the ground under the stone chair.

The holy aura enveloped the demon's soul, causing the pitch-black figure maintained by the demon to let out an extremely violent cry of pain.

But in its extremely painful cry, the monster was expressing a joyful meaning.

can do!

After absorbing the dark power generated by several ninja wars, he can completely break the seal on his own!

Therefore, the more this holy light caused his soul to suffer, the more he felt how weak this holy power was.

It's just a desperate struggle like a powerful weapon.

Fierce and exciting joy burst out from the bottom of my heart without interruption.

The power of darkness began to expand its territory, and the holy white light turned into a strange purple for an instant, and then the purple light eroded the dark shadows.

Evil light and shadow bloomed wantonly in the cave.

As the dark shadow spread and swallowed up the entire barrier, the pitch-black figure began to distort, unable to maintain the appearance of a human being.

An extremely ferocious and huge black shadow of a monster was projected on the hot rock wall.

A black tail like a big snake chopped down from the sky.

The ground that maintained the sealing barrier turned into powder instantly, turning into dust invisible to the naked eye.

Then, the huge black shadow turned into a dark torrent, quickly rushing towards the magma at the bottom.

The invisible fluctuations centered on the magma, projecting a scorching blood-colored light beam upwards.

This blood-colored light beam began to spread and ripple in all directions, forming a huge blood-colored aperture that completely enveloped the entire mountain range.

The mountain began to make cracking sounds, and large rocks fell from above.

"YAAAAAAAAAAAA——"

The roar of the monster pierced the eardrums, and the ancient monster bathed in the light of the magma land and completely woke up.

Countless dark tentacles extended upwards, twisting and swinging, like signs of a group of demons dancing around, and their size was unknown at all.

According to visual inspection, the size of the monster hidden in the magma is probably larger than that of the tailed beast.

Shiraishi and the other three came to Maitreya. Shiraishi looked at the magma below, and then turned to Maitreya: "How about it, can it be sealed?"

Maitreya shook his head and said: "No, the darkness this time is too huge. We must find a way to weaken the dark part of the monster."

"That's no problem, that's why we came here."

Regarding the monster sprites, Shiraishi had actually been thinking about how to deal with them a long time ago, and worked with Maitreya Shrine to re-seal them.

After all, most of Maitreya Miko's power has been transferred to her daughter Ziyuan at this moment, and Ziyuan has not yet mastered the huge power to deal with sprites, so her role can be ignored.

"It seems that Mr. Shiraishi has obtained the information you want."

"Well, I tried it out before I came here, and it went smoothly beyond expectations. But you still need to handle the final sealing work."

The sealing technique of ninjas is not ineffective against monsters, but as human beings, ninjas have too many selfish desires.

As long as you give up those selfish desires and become a "perfect person" like Maitreya, you will definitely have an effect on the monsters.

It's just that it's hard to do.

Shiraishi thinks he can't do this either.

The reason why human beings are human is because there are too many things that cannot be let go, and there are too many desires that need to be released and vented.

This will become food for monsters and be captured by monsters.

However, Shiraishi doesn't think humans are weak at all, nor are they the 'stupid creatures' that the demons call them.

I heard Shiraishi say this. Maitreya Miko's face seemed to relax as she breathed a sigh of relief.

If Shiraishi's method doesn't work, he can only get back the power of his daughter Ziyuan and seal the demon again.

But in this way, the next time Shion faces the demon, the battle will definitely become very difficult.

As the monster said, the witch is just a symbol of sadness.

Every time a war breaks out, the dark power of the sprites increases dramatically, making it more difficult for the witches to seal.

Even if they understand this, the five major countries still enjoy war.

The inability to look directly into the darkness of the human heart is also the reason why witches avoid the world.

"Then, here we go."

Shiraishi didn't talk nonsense. He took out a scroll from his arms, formed a seal with his hands, and an orange-red clay pot half a person's height appeared in front of Shiraishi.

It is the amber bottle, the precious treasure left to the ninja world by the Sage of Six Paths.

"Otsuki Hagoromo's sealed treasure? Speaking of which, Otsutsuki Hagoromo contributed to the reason why I was born out of the darkness in the human heart. Whether it's a fairy or a human, they're just a bunch of stupid things." .”

Feeling the familiar aura of treasures, in the magma, there are countless human-sized blood pupils shining, but the tone seems to be high and calm, like an emperor looking down on the world.

"kill!"

He said these words in a commanding tone, as if he expected that human beings would be ravaged and trampled under their own power.

Unimaginable joy arises from the bottom of my heart.

Countless tentacles like giant pythons swung out from the magma and stabbed at the location of Bai Shi.

Poof!

The huge bloody giant stood on the ground, and without hesitation, he waved the bloody sword light and cut off the dark tentacles that came in contact.

Purple-blue juice burst out from the wounds of the dark tentacles.

On the opposite rock wall, a very terrifying deep sword mark was also carved.

"Is it the pupil technique of the cursed clan? You can't see any darkness in your eyes, but it's still not as good as me!"

More tentacles poked their heads out from the magma, turning into an endless stream of intensive attacks like a torrential rain.

But Liuli possesses dynamic vision that is superior to the Mangekyou Sharingan. Relying on the bloody giant sword in his hand, he is not afraid of the monsters' crazy attacks at all.

At this time, Ayane also took action.

She jumped forward, clasped her hands together, and barely managed to grab the tip of a tentacle.

The monster's body hidden under the magma gradually felt that something was wrong.

Its body moved involuntarily, and its body began to move out of the magma.

"This woman...is she really a human?"

He saw Ayane's feet frozen on the wall of the cave, with his hands using a tentacle as a fulcrum, intending to pull its body out of the magma underneath.

This is the first time that the demon has seen such a random ninja.

"Get out!"

Ayane drank loudly, and the magic chakra flowed through her body like a torrent, and her body's strength increased sharply again.

The terrifying force directly penetrated the outer skin of the tentacle, struck directly inside, and even transmitted a terrifying dark force towards the body under the magma.

The demon groaned in pain. It was unknown how long ago it had been before it was injured by a human like this.

There are indeed very few ninjas who can penetrate the surface and directly attack the inside.

But it can only make it suffer a little, because it has no organs at all in its body, so such an attack is ineffective against it.

However, when it was thinking this, Ayane's goal had been achieved.

The monster's body protruded from the magma. Although it was just the tip of the iceberg, it was shocking enough.

Ruri drove the Susanoo giant without any hesitation and slashed down the bloody giant sword.

The demon's painful cry echoed through the cave, making people's eardrums ache.

The sound was like a sharp stone scratching across the glass, causing a hoarse and unpleasant noise.

The flesh and blood were separated, and part of the body was cut open. The part of the body connected to a large number of bloody eyeballs and tentacles was called by some kind of power, and began to gather towards the amber bottle in front of Baishi.

"Idiot, how is this kind of thing possible..."

I thought that Shiraishi and the others could come up with some skills to deal with it, but in the end, it was only to this extent, so they were inevitably disappointed.

Although the Amber Purifying Bottle is a sealed Noble Phantasm and has extremely strong suppressive power against tailed beasts, monsters and tailed beasts are completely different species.

Chakra is just the medium through which it transmits darkness. Its essence is the darkness of the human heart, which is the complete opposite of tailed beasts.

Tailed beasts are based on chakra, and are affected by the dark part of human hearts, causing chakra to become violent.

How could this kind of sealing Noble Phantasm targeting chakra be effective against a monster like it?

I saw the mouth of the amber cleansing bottle in front of Baishi, suddenly bursting with white holy light, and the bottle body also flashed with white enchantment formulas, which had a terrible suction power on the body and soul of the sprite.

"Damn it! It's actually combined with a miko's technique!"

been counted.

Having lost part of his body and soul, the monster suddenly became frantic.

"Just lend the power of the witch to humans. Are humans really worth your efforts? Answer me, Maitreya!"

Rather than losing part of his body and soul, Maitreya's trust in humans is the real reason for his anger.

Why do you have to do this?

Why fight for humanity?

Why keep fighting it?

Isn't entangled for thousands of years not enough reward for mankind?

It’s clear that he has become an inhuman body…but he still retains his ‘human heart’?

How sad!

How stupid!

For some reason, the demon's heart was filled with the desire to destroy everything.

Watching the miko sacrifice herself step by step for stupid humans.

This obsession has not changed after thousands of years. The demon cannot understand or agree with it.

Aren't they the same kind?

A race of only two individuals in the world.

They are partners on the same front.

Why kill each other?

Trapped in a tragic cycle that has not changed for thousands of years?

It's all these hateful humans and these boring ninjas who have created such a sad world.

If these stupid creatures did not exist, then he could touch the holiness and light.

Human beings are not qualified to possess this kind of holiness and light!

"I want to destroy everything in this world and welcome back my true compatriots——"

Then, build a dark empire without human existence.

Let the miko be the only light that illuminates the darkness.

This long-cherished wish is about to come true.

No one is allowed to destroy it.

"Go to hell you filthy bug!"

Dark torrents erupted from the magma.

Different from the tentacles, it is the most essential darkness of the monster, and it is the crystallized product of darkness.

It is the power of darkness that humans absolutely cannot stop.

No matter who you are, you will be eroded by this darkness.

Human beings are a combination of selfish desires. In front of its most essential dark crystallization, no matter how powerful a ninja is, there will be a gap in the soul.

The spreading dark torrent was as overwhelming as a vast ocean, and it was difficult to resist.

In an instant, the positions of Shiraishi and the three others were all swallowed up.

The world was dyed black.

Only the small area where Maitreya stood was shrouded by the holy barrier and was not affected.

"Haha, spread, keep spreading, this world will be mine soon! Maitreya, do you see it, this is human beings! Compared to me, they are the real evil! In the face of my darkness, they can only become The nourishment that enhances my strength!”

The emotions boiling inside it were released with laughter.

The blood pupils under the magma are burning with the burning desire to destroy the world.

The twisted and crazy pleasure has never been so smooth and refreshing for a moment.

They are just a group of bugs, and being corroded by its darkness proves how selfish and greedy humans are.

The power of darkness deep in human hearts is a desperate blow that humans cannot avoid.

"Sure enough...my guess is correct..."

A sound that shouldn't have appeared appeared, stopping the monster's laughter.

The dark torrent disappeared. Although it had been successfully integrated into the body, Baishi stood there intact, just twisting his neck with a smile on his face, his eyes clear and clear, not affected by the darkness of the sprite.

"!?"

The monster couldn't understand this scene.

Why wasn't Shiraishi affected by its darkness?

It's impossible. That level of dark negative energy is definitely an attack that humans can't resist.

Is this human being also its kind?

No, I didn't sense the same kind of aura from him at all.

He is just a human being.

Why?

Countless reasons arose in the demon's mind, but he couldn't find a satisfactory answer.

"Haven't you noticed yet?"

"What?"

The demon's tone sounded unconfident.

"I told you from the beginning, I have seen through your tricks. Every word is dark and evil, but it is just using chakra as a medium to achieve the effect of controlling erosion. The time I came into contact with you before, I I already know all your intelligence, including your weaknesses, including how to target them."

"Have you not……"

The monster thought of something.

"As you can imagine, the chakra in my body is gone. No matter how heavy the darkness is, as long as the transmission channel of 'chakra' is blocked, it will be of no use."

It is the consensus of the ninja world that chakra can carry will.

The reason why monsters can control people's hearts is because chakra has a special channel for transmitting consciousness.

Because of this, humans have no power to resist when faced with monsters.

As long as the human body still has the energy of chakra that can transmit consciousness, sprites can use it to erode human beings with darkness through this channel.

To achieve the conditions for fighting sprites, you must first strip Chakra from your body.

But there are also problems. Human beings will die if they lose Chakra.

Therefore, Shiraishi, who has lost his chakra, can still be alive and kicking here, which seems to be a very inconceivable thing in the eyes of sprites.

"Impossible, human beings lost their chakras, how could they live—"

"Witches have ways of witches, and humans have their own ways. Don't underestimate the weight of the word human. Humans are not as incompetent as you think, sprites."

Baishi's firm and indifferent voice slowly sounded in the huge space.

Such a sentence hurt the monster's heart even more, and he roared furiously under the magma.

(PS: I feel like this chapter is very well written!)
